A Staircase Seven Miles Long.

From Nikko the pilgrims 60 eight
miles up to Lake Chinzenii, where their
sacred mountain, Nantaisan, guards that
lovely sheet of water. They bathe in the
sacred waters, pass under grand tori
on the waters edge, say their prayers at
a temple and climb the mountain to a
lone shrine at the top. The path to the
mountains summit is kept in order by
the temple guardians, who charge 20
cents for every climber, and the climber
then has his name inscribed on wooden
tablets in the temple grounds, which is
fame enough for his humble lifetime. 1t
is seven miles to the summit, aud the
path, instead of winding and zigzagging
as mountain path generally does, pur-
sucs an air line from the bottom to the
ton. and is simply seven-mile staircase.
with steps regularly made of sticks laid
across and braccd in. 1t is all matter
of lungs and knees to get up the noun
tain, and altogether matter of knees to
come down, aud climbers feel weak and
shaky there for days after dcscending|
the sevcn-mie staircase. At Chinzenji|
there are long barracks provided by the
government, where the pilgrims can
lodge for few coppers each night, and
several tca-houses built at tho edge of thel
lake. with galleries overhanging the
water.

He is Granted a New Trial by tho
New York Court of Appeals.
The New York Court Of Appeals has de-
cided in favor of the appeal of Jacob Sharp
from his conviction for bribery in obtaining
the franchise for Broadway railroad from
the New York City Board of Aldermen of
1884 By this decision the OK President of
the Broadway Railroad Company is saved
for the present from being transferred from
Ludlow Street Jail to Sing Sing Prison.
He has been released on bail.
The decision of the General Term affirm
ing the conviction was reversed by the
Court Of Appeals, and new trial ordered.
The opinion was written by Judge Danforth,
ard was concurred in by all his associates.
A supplemental opinion was written by
Judge Peckham.
There was somewhat of a futter in the
Court of Appeals chamber at Albany, when
the decision was announced Roscoe Conk-
ling, ex-Judge Noah Davis, Attorney. Gen.
eral O'Brien and other prominent lawyers
put their heads together and conversed about
the decision.
The jud Iment was reversed on the ground
that the lower court erred in admitting the ev-

DISASTERS ON THE RAIL.
Three Mon Instantly Killed ana
Five Injured.

Two freight trains on the Wheeling d.
vision of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
were in collision near Cochran's Mills, fifteen
miles from Pittsburg. about 10:15 o'clock
the other morning. Both trains were almost
completely demolished and three men were
killed and five others injured. The killed

be amputated.
. Frank Applebcc, engineer, residence Glen
wood: slightly cut about the top of the head.
Thomas l.. McCann fireman, residence
Hazewood; had scalp wound on the top OF

There appear to have been no orders issued
as to which train was to lay over at Finley
Vile for the other to pass. The trains were
running at high rate of speed, and rs they

came into view too late to be checked. An
instant later they came together with terri
BILE crash Both locomotives were lifted from
tho rails and thrown to one side completely
wrecked The cars were all derailed and
smashed to pieces, and the debris piled up
high around the locomotives. The main
track was torn up for considerable distance
and blockaded.
There was not moments warning, and
both crews were caught in the wreck. Three
of the trainmen were buried from sight and
almost instantly killed. The others were held
prisoners in the confused mass, and were
extrcatcd with difficulty. Peddiman's body
was taken to Wheeling and the injured were
brought to Pittsburg.
1t is claimed by the company that the accl-
dent was caused by the telegraph operator at
